This is a 7 hole Extended Scale drone with the seventh hole being the thumb hole on the back of the flute. To play the flute as a standard 6 hole configuration, keep the thumb hole covered.

Materials:

Flute body is made of Alaskan Yellow Cedar wood and the accents are of Sapele wood. Flute is finished with hand rubbed polyurethane and the inside of the sound chamber is left unsealed to preserve the natural resonance of wood. Alaskan Yellow Cedar is a soft wood and is prized for its tonal quality. Having very tight growth rings as it is the slowest growing wood in the USA, it is used for guitar tops. It produces deep, warm, haunting yet clear tone.

If the flute is on Backorder:

When the flute is on Backorder it simply means that I would have to build it for you. You can place your order as you would with the regular purchase, the only difference is that it would take me from 2-3 or 3-4 weeks to finish it and mail it to you, depending on the load of present orders. If you don’t mind waiting I would love to recreate the flute for you.

I will do my best to recreate the flute, depending on wood availability from my supplier and my “Cutoff Box” which is where I keep pieces of wood from other flute projects to add accents to new flute orders. If the wood of your choice for the accents is not available, I will let you know and suggest closest replacement in look and feel, to complement the overall look and color palette of the flute.

Customize your Flute

This form is to let you contact me if you would like to customize this flute.
Generally Customization applies if the flute is on “Backorder” meaning that you are ordering a flute and it will be built for you in 2-3 or 3-4 weeks depending on my current orders load. You may want the flute to be in the same key but with different wood combinations or maybe you would like the way the flute looks but want it in a different key. Or you would prefer me to offset the holes to cater for “left hand” or “right hand” on the bottom playing preference.
I will do my best to recreate the flute, depending on wood availability from my supplier and my “Cutoff Box” which is where I keep pieces of wood from other flute projects to add accents to new flute orders.

Please inquire bellow and ask lots of questions. I will let you know about the wood choices and provide images for you reference.
